Penicillin: Antibiotic that destroys bacteria
derived from penicillin mold (fungi).
• Originally noticed by Ernest Duchesne, in 1896.
– Penicillin was re-discovered by bacteriologist
Alexander Fleming working at St. Mary's Hospital in
London in 1928.
He observed that a plate
culture of Staphylococcus
had been contaminated by
a blue-green mold.
He observed that a plate
